Suspension Failure Signs
A sudden loss of three to five inches of vehicle ride height is normally the first sign something is terribly wrong with the factory air suspension on your 2011 to 2012 Lexus LS460. The drop may occur in the rear, front or all four corners of the vehicle. Either way, this sudden loss of ride height makes the vehicle difficult and even dangerous to drive. Other signs of trouble include an illuminated suspension warning light in the instrument cluster and/or a loud onboard air compressor that seems to run all of the time.
If one or more of these have happened to your Lexus, you are in for a difficult road ahead. Why? The 2011 to 2012 Lexus LS460 all-wheel-drive models were equipped with one of the most sophisticated and expensive air suspension systems on the market. The suspension, better known as the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), has hundreds of electronically-controlled parts, sensors and components that must work in perfect synchronization to deliver the proper ride quality. Eventually, the factory air system begins to break down due to age, exposure to the elements and normal wear and tear. When one of the major components (such as an air strut or compressor) go down, several more are right behind it. For the best chance of a successful repair, experienced technicians recommend replacing ALL of the major components in the system. This complete overhaul can run in the $7000 to $9000 range with parts and labor.
OEM Replacement Cost
- Air Strut Assembly (x4) ($255/strut)
- Suspension Control Module ($765)
- Air Compressor ($925)

Strutmasters has developed a cost-effective alternative, the four-wheel Lexus LS 460 suspension conversion kit. The conversion kit uses passive (non-electronic) coil-over-struts that simply bolt right into place of the factory units. With detailed, step-by-step instructions, the kit is designed to be friendly to vehicle owners who want to tackle the job themselves. Using a repair shop? Recommended labor time is 1 to 1.5 hours per wheel ‚Äì about the same as replacing an OE unit. Strutmasters customers also have access to our technical support team, who are here to provide installation advice and answer questions. We use premium components and back them with a 1-year warranty and the integrity of a company that invented the first fully-assembled suspension conversion kit back in 1999.
